Title: Spooling up for Burlington Flats Sept 18-19
Post by: The Postman on September 08, 2010, 10:45:44 AM
Woo Hoo!!! (Homer Simpson style .  .)  :---   :bow:

Just registered . . . Got my LTR ready, changed ammo from Rem to CCI Blazer . .  had a heck of a time with FTF's and mis-fires with the Rem at the last AS at Burlington Flats. Looking forward to being scared by Sgt Rock again  :o  ;)  (we all love ya Sarge!!)

Made Rifleman in Enfield NH on Aug 1st!! Shot a 233 with my standard 10-22 with tech sights, extended mag release and bolt release mod. I am looking forward to bettering that score at Burlington Flats!!  

Trying to get a couple of buddies to come with me, I may have to threaten them with taking their couch and potato chips away . . .

Peace, Out \ /

Hmmm...  I've seen folks show up at Appleseeds with folding chairs that rival some couches; and your friends can eat chips anywhere.  Drag 'em along!

Glad you'll be there!

Har!!

I think I'll have to take their big flat screen TV's away too . . . They're always griping about the state of our country . .  I hope I can motivate them . . they're both shooters (fair weather) . .  I know if I can get them to just ONE Appleseed . .

This will be my third Appleseed this year.

Peace, Out \ /

Took both LTRs to the range yesterday to check POI and sling settings . .  good to go!   ^:)^ Got two bricks of CCI Blazers. The Mrs. may be there Saturday and shooting, we'll see.

Looking forward to this weekend . .  the weather looks pretty good so far . .  but you all know how the weather is in CNY!

Who are the Orange and Red hats??

BTW, Herb Philipsons has Blazers on sale for $17.99 a brick.

Peace, Out \ /

Troops,
   You actually can do both BF and SS Appleseeds...just not simultaneously...there'll be lots of opptys in the future to do both (as well as lots of other Northeast NY ranges - like Dunham's Bay, Wilton, RC Sportsmen's-Ravena, Watervliet, Galway F&G, Hudson Falls F&G - and there'll be IBCs available - definitely in the Spring @ DB, with a history road trip to Fort Ticonderoga...!) 
   I've even invited Mary Zeiss Stange, author of book Gunwomen and Religion/Women's Studies Professor @ Skidmore College (and whose husband Doug is a NY State wheel in the "Becoming an Outdoorswoman" program) to join us and bring more Skidmore students.
Excelsior,
